Your working week
About 9 hours a week freed from paperwork.
Your paperwork adds up to more than the hours you work. Worth checking the sliders.
Your time and your turnover
About a year, for a full-time week
Your paperwork brings in nothing. Each hour on jobs brings in about £97, against the £29 an hour you put on your own time.
At ×1, the time you get back is filled with work at your usual rate. Move it up if better systems would let you take on more than that: ×3 is three times as much new work.
With about 1 minute more a week on winning work, that could be about £0 more a year.
If you spent that time winning work instead, it could bring in about £41,000 more a year.
